The cap is hard to get to at the firewall, but that is no fault of the cap manufacturer. Be careful putting it on to make sure it is properly aligned. It is easy to put on and not quite have it in the alignment slots correctly. (I found this out when pulling off my old one and found out it had a little play in it). It would be nice if the plug number markings were bigger and easier to see.

Comments about BWD Distributor Cap:
If I didn't use it myself I wouldn't believe it. These caps will just not hold up to GM's HEI systems. caps and rotor within 7 months, no way. Never ran quite right either. Got P0300 codes? Good chance it's this cap. Runs like new with AC Delco.

Comments about BWD Distributor Cap:
I have used this cap before as i own a repair facility. However, I recently just experienced a problem with this cap where i had a random misfire code P0300 due to terminals 3&5 shorting out within the cap itself. Exchanged it with another one from the store as a defect,and problem solved.
